L'Oignon — Restaurant in Strasbourg

My review on restaurants is mainly focused on answering 2 questions - do I recommend it to others and will I be coming back for another feast again. My answers are YES and YES.

As first timers at Strasbourg, we would like to try out some local cuisine like the Alsace style sausage. So, I ordered a dish that comes with 5 types of sausage samplers. Since my wife is not a big fan of sausage, she ordered the duck breast dish. OMG, both dishes are so.... delicious!! We love them.

Knowing their food is good, we also wanted to try out their dessert. We didn't want to go for the typical creme brûlée, so we ordered the Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. OMG, they are so... good.

if you look at the pictures for the presentation of food and dessert, they are so pleasant. We were so glad we bumped into this restaurant during late lunch hours. When we visited the area again at night, I think we overheard a server said that they were fully booked and couldn't take any walk-in anymore. it was Dec 30th 2023.

Definitely highly recommended to everyone. MUST try...

Our dinner at L’Oginon in Strasbourg was nothing short of amazing — a perfect mix of elegant French cuisine, stunning scenery, and warm hospitality.

We sat right along the river, with beautiful views of the water and the charming architecture that makes Strasbourg so special. The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined — ideal for savoring a truly memorable meal.

We ordered a delicious spread of pork shank, shrimp and salad, and every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. For dessert, we were treated to a classic crème brûlée and a unique apricot lavender creation — both absolutely divine and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.

Our server Estelle was absolutely wonderful — kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish.

If you’re in Strasbourg and looking for a refined yet cozy dinner with incredible food and riverside views, L’Oignon is the place. Five stars all the way — we’ll be dreaming about that apricot lavender dessert for a long...

After serving us (2pax) our entrée (within 10mins after ordering), they left us waiting for our main for more than 1hour (we had our eyes on the clock btw)

No waiter showed up during that time to ask for additional bewerages or payed any attention our table. After 3 other tables around us had already been served their food and even left we were told (after asking again), that there had been an "accident" with our plates.

After finally serving us, it turned out that the 20€ veal dish was less than around 150g of ripped apart meat (looked like other people's leftovers had been thrown on a new plate !?), literally 2 thin slices of mushroom, 2 thin slices of zucchini, some brown sauce and some Spätzle. I refused and returned my plate, as I think such a treatment and such a presentation is simply unacceptable.

My bf ate his dish (the Sauerkraut with 5 meats), as he was super hungry. Wasn't anything special according to him.

Total rip off and...
